Stench pipe

It was sooo fulfilling!

 

To be honest, I'm surprised we have got this far into a "stench pipe" thread without an appearance from Bazza... is he OK?

 

He's probably self isolating down the Carp lake.

 

He’s still dreaming of all the crack he could have.... he’s a (bum) crack addict!

 

I'm here you know I've been fat controlling today

 

Dieting?

 

Tutting loudly as bigguns waddle into the chicken shop, probably!

 

Showing your age there Mr Tatts

 

Are the Northern Ireland regs the same as the Mainland?

 

I don’t know but possibly they are. I know here we are not permitted to join rainwater with sewage drains, but that’s in France, and we have a septic tank.

 

Were they fry'd or grilled ...i'v found them a bit tough for my liking .

 

If there is a blockage in the sewer and it's raining all day might the water exit out into loo floor or bathroom ..and if it's upstairs It's unlikely to happen but it's possible .

 

I’m surprised they can do it here. You’d think with everyone’s runoff, it would overload the sewers.

 

Probably best to divert it into your neighbour's pipework.

 

I doubt if it’s allowed there, although perhaps it depends on the local authority. I thought surface and foul water had been separated 50 years ago or so to avoid overloading the sewers but I’ve never seen anyone going around checking and I’m not about to volunteer for the job. Looking after our septic tanks is bad enough, it holds 3000 litres and that’s a lot of s***.

 

Seems our Southern Water allow it, and I pay them for the privilege.

 

Yes I am but it looks as though I shouldn’t put rain run off water into the sewage system just in case the sewage system gets overwhelmed and floods which is fair enough.

 

Yorkshire Water charge us for rainwater treatment so they expect it to go down the sewer. If you can prove it doesn't, you can get a rebate.

 

Same as Southern.

TBH if it’s only one roof and the rest is soakaway, noone’s ever going to know/check.
